JAKARTA - Responding to the viral song "SPONTAN (without) UHUY!" on social media, solo singer DEABDIL is preparing a new extended play (EP) with the title "KONTRADILSKI".
The EP, which will be released on January 30, contains four tracks, with two singles that were released last year, "(not) first impression" and "SPONTAN (without) UHUY!", as well as two new songs "mejikuhibini (LOPE) u" and "(don't) it's up to you".
"KONTRADILSKI" mengangkat tema besar tentang kontradiksi. Abdil—sapaan akrabnya—mengambil istilah yang sempat populer di masanya, lalu menginterpretasikannya dengan sudut pandang yang berlawanan.
From there, new songs were born that felt fresh, relevant, and close to the daily lives of their listeners.
Similar to his viral song, the new work in this EP uses simple and easy-to-understand diction. The language used feels like everyday conversation - minimal metaphor - so that the emotions and stories in it can be understood immediately without further interpretation.
In the song "mejikuhibini (LOPE) u", DEABDIL tells the story of the courage to fall in love in a simple and honest way. This song describes the moment when someone realizes their own feelings of admiration, a smile in return, and the confidence to seriously enter into a relationship. Through the lyrics, listeners are invited to enter the feeling of nervousness, reckless, but full of hope, when love comes without a plan.
Meanwhile, "(Don't) Care" presents a story close to the lives of many couples. This song raises a classic situation when determining a place to eat which ends in confusion because the answer is "up to you".
Through "KONTRADILSKI", Abdil not only presents songs that are easy to go viral, but also stories that are easy to connect with listeners, honest, and what they are.
This EP also marks DEABDIL's musical journey towards their second album, while inviting listeners to look back at simple things in life from a different perspective.
